Terry Pratchett on having early onset Alzheimer"s. (put in MS as needed):

And so now I'm a game for real. It's a nasty disease, surrounded by shadows and small, largely unseen tragedies.

People don't know what to say, unless they have had it in the family.

People ask me why I announced that I had Alzheimer's.

My response was: why shouldn't I?

But, on the whole, you try to be your own doctor.


Part of me lives in a world of new age remedies and science, and some of the science is a little like voodoo.

But science was never an exact science, and personally I'd eat the **** out of a dead mole if it offered a fighting chance.

Fortunately, I have the Greek Chorus (Note: you guys) to calm me down

Some of them wanted to sell me snake oil and I'm not necessarily going to dismiss all of these, as I have never found a rusty snake.
